The range rises between the Chaobai River on the west and the Shanhai Pass on the east. It is made up mostly of limestone, granite, and basalt. Its altitude ranges from 400 to 1000 meters. The main peak, Mount Wuling, is 2,116 meters (6,942 ft) above sea level and is located in Xinglong County in Hebei. The range contains many narrow passes, such as the Gubei Pass, the Xifeng Pass, and the Leng Pass. The eastern stretch of the Great Wall of China, including Badaling in northern Beijing, can be found in the Yan Mountains. The mountains are also an important traffic gateway between north and south.
Notes
- These names are sometimes redundantly combined as the "Yanshan Mountains".

Les monts Yan, ou Yanshan (chinois traditionnel : 燕山 ; pinyin : Yān Shān), sont un massif montagneux peu élevé situé au nord de la grande plaine de Chine du Nord dans la province du Hebei. Ce massif, dont l'altitude moyenne s'échelonne entre 400 et 1 000 mètres, s'étire dans le Nord du xian de Xinglong entre la rivière Chaobai et le col de Shanhai. Le point culminant est le mont Wuling qui s'élève à 2 744 mètres. Le massif est composé de roches calcaires, de granite et de basalte. La partie orientale de la grande muraille de Chine est située dans ce massif. La limite méridionale du massif se trouve à une cinquantaine de kilomètres au nord de Pékin. On y trouve notamment l'observatoire de Xinglong qui était en 2016 le plus grand observatoire astronomique de Chine.[it] Monti Yan
I monti Yan, conosciuti anche con il nome cinese di Yanshan, sono la principale catena montuosa della pianura della Cina del Nord, situati principalmente nella provincia di Hebei. La catena si eleva tra il fiume Chaobai ad ovest e il passo Shanhai a est ed è composta principalmente di rocce calcaree, granitiche e basaltiche. L'altitudine media varia dai 400 ai 1.000 metri, con un picco massimo rappresentato dal monte Wuling di 2.116 metri. A dividere la catena montuosa sono presenti diversi stretti passi, come il passo Gubei, il passo Xifeng e il passo Leng. La parte orientale della grande muraglia cinese, che include il sito di Badaling a nord di Pechino, si trova sui monti Yan che, per via della loro posizione geografica, hanno rappresentato e rappresentano tutt'ora un importante snodo di comunicazione tra il nord e il sud della Cina.[ru] Яньшань
